Cleric reveals Mojtaba Khamenei was rescued from hospital rubble after strikes

Ayatollah Mohsen Heidari Alekasir stated that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured before the Israel-US-Iran war and later rescued from a bombed Tehran hospital. Heidari denied that his father, Ali Khamenei, designated him as successor, noting Mojtaba held no official political role before his selection. The Assembly of Experts secretly chose him on March 8 after their own offices were struck. While US President Donald Trump claimed Mojtaba is severely wounded, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian insists he is completely healthy and actively directing policy.

Iran’s President Rejects US Trust, Proposes 7-Day Hormuz Deal Amid War

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran no longer trusts US negotiations, citing previous attacks following talks. During the UN General Assembly, Iran proposed a seven-day roadmap to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, contingent on US sanctions relief and asset releases. While Iran seeks a deal before US midterms, Washington has not responded, and hardliners demand preconditions.

Pezeshkian’s UN Balancing Act Faces Test as Iran Proposes Seven-Day Hormuz Deal

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s UN speech drew rare cross-factional praise in Tehran, but emerging details of a phased deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz threaten to expose deep domestic divisions. While hardliners celebrated his defiant rhetoric, reformists highlighted his openness to diplomacy. Negotiations remain stalled as neither side wishes to relinquish leverage first, with Iran seeking a deal before US midterm elections.

Iran's Pezeshkian Defies Trump at UN, Rejects Nuclear Concessions Amidst Ongoing War

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a historic address to the UN General Assembly in New York, becoming the first leader to speak in person while his country is actively at war with the United States. Seven months after the US and Israel began military operations against Iran, Pezeshkian rejected US demands regarding Iran's nuclear program, missile defenses, and control of the Strait of Hormuz. While US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that recent backchannel talks with Iranian officials yielded no breakthrough, Tehran signaled a willingness to coexist with regional neighbors if security guarantees are met. The speech coincided with a new Iranian negotiating framework requiring Washington to meet specific preconditions before any further dialogue or reopening of the strait.

Iranian President Defies Trump’s ‘Annihilation’ Threat at U.N. Amid Ongoing War

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the U.N. General Assembly on September 23, directly rebutting President Donald Trump’s previous-day threat to 'annihilate' Iran. Pezeshkian framed Iran as a victim of terrorism, vowed to resist U.S. pressure, and asserted that Iran must remain powerful to avoid future threats. The speech occurred while the U.S. and Iran remained at war, with diplomatic talks ongoing but yielding no breakthrough. Iran’s hard-line factions criticized the diplomacy, while the U.S. maintained its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Mamdani Faces Backlash for Silence on Pezeshkian Amid Netanyahu Clash

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing sharp criticism for failing to apply his 'war criminal' rhetoric to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who arrived in the city for the UN General Assembly. While Mamdani has vowed to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he has remained largely silent on Pezeshkian's presence despite ongoing conflicts between the US and Iran. Critics, including journalist Masih Alinejad and national security expert Brigitte Gabriel, argue this disparity highlights a double standard, especially given Iran's history of assassination plots against US-based dissidents. Netanyahu has responded by mocking Mamdani in a video, while Mamdani maintains his stance on Israel but acknowledges legal limits on arresting foreign leaders.

Iran’s Pezeshkian Defies Trump’s ‘Annihilation’ Threat at UN, Vowing Resistance

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a defiant address to the UN General Assembly on September 23, 2026, directly rebutting President Donald Trump’s previous day’s threat to 'annihilate' Iran. Pezeshkian framed Iran as a victim of terrorism, citing the February strike on a school in Minab that killed 150 people, mostly children. While Trump positioned the conflict as a choice between a post-election deal or military destruction, Pezeshkian asserted Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology and vowed to resist 'bullying.' The speech occurred amid ongoing diplomatic efforts, including a three-hour meeting between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian delegates, though the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz remains in effect.

Iranian President Reports Secret Dark Meeting With Mojtaba Khamenei, Doubts Who Was Visibly Present

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei in a secret, dark Tehran location where they could not see each other; the encounter lasted only a few minutes and left Pezeshkian questioning whether the person he met was really Mojtaba. He later claimed a longer, two-and-a-half-hour May meeting in a cordial setting. The report portrays tensions between the president and the supreme leader, including threats of resignation and an alleged ‘final ultimatum’ backed by the IRGC. Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public for about five months, while US and Israeli media commentary and Trump remarks add to questions about leadership stability in Iran.

Iran’s shadow leader drives a power struggle among rival factions

Iran’s unseen Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has become a political weapon in a widening intra-regime power struggle, with competing claims about President Masoud Pezeshkian’s relationship to the leader. Reports from Iran International describe conflicting narratives—one suggesting plans to resign and another that Pezeshkian met with Mojtaba—while experts say a leadership vacuum is fueling infighting among Islamist factions that weaponize Khamenei’s name to justify moves and constrain rivals. The claims have not been independently verified, and Mojtaba Khamenei’s public absence adds to the uncertainty about who really controls the regime.
